  The Latina Army

  Nancy Roldan Johnson and Carmen R. Marcano Davis Ph.D. are not just your typical Latinas.  They have wings! Yes mijas, wings. 
  They are the founders of an organization called, “The
Latina ARMY”. Now this army is not the type of army that you see in movies,
  read in newspapers or see fighting in Iraq.  This is the type of army that will make you want to sign-up and request to be drafted
  right away!

  The Latina ARMY, Inc. is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young Latinas.  In a national effort,
  accomplished Latinas give two hours of their time to talk to young girls at their local school or community center, and help them
  envision a brighter and successful future.    

  Their goal is to empower one million Latinas.  Their mission is to create a movement that will plant the seeds of success in the
  minds of each Latina they speak to, while creating a national awareness that will generate resources and aid to all Latino
  communities.  Their message will help Latinas understand that any obstacle can be overcome with hard work and determination.   

  The
Latina ARMY conducts workshops at various schools and community centers.  They have volunteers who tell their own personal
  stories, stories of struggle, inspiration and success.  When the workshop is complete, The
Latina ARMY hands out brochures with
  helpful information from national agencies and organizations; to help them better their journey.

The Latina ARMY now by visiting www.thelatinaarmy.org
